Massdrop x HIFIMAN HE4XX Planar Magnetic Headphones
Thanks for the detailed reply, I am not very experienced with headphone buying, and even though I am aware that sensitivity matters too, so far only looking at the impedance has worked out well enough. Secondly, after re-reading your posts, I went to r/Headphones, and went to their AMP + Headphone combo calculator spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/191U0Q__6ieKyiKHI-_wTt-8j6wd2A3cpddE0_ieuxgI/edit#gid=0 After putting the...

How about a no-gimmicks Class A headphone amp?
In my opinion, the following are marketing gimmicks when they are present in a headphone amp: Balanced I/O. Intended for microphone cables carrying extremely low-level signals, balanced I/O offers no benefit for line-level signals or headpho...

Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX Headphones
Seriously, you are irredeemable. Your statements are more than misleading. A person would have to listen at a continuous level of 85 dB for more than 8 HOURS to cause damage. Even at 100 dB one would need to listen continuously for over 15 min to cause damage. Curious you leave those facts out. The point still stands that for peaks in music, as indicated above and in the articles I linked to, require a headroom upwards of max 120 dB for...

DAC/amp guidance/recommendation
Okay I read some of your comments @AK770, and there's some info I'd like to share with you & the world: - a DAC processes a digital signal to generate an analog one, like a CD player or your PC when reading audio files. An amp takes an analog signal and amplifies it, giving it more voltage and current (power = voltage x current, basic Ohm's law). Most "decent" DACs produce a clean uncolored sound, so as long as you pick a well-known model...
